C11 - 4 stroke
Bantam - 2 stroke
Both would need work to make them smooth. They were sand cast originally.

David

I think you have found a market for your work KDX, I just picked up a 69 TS 250 and need to magnento cover would get two or three of off you as have spare motors. The one on the bike is a handmade brass one and adds 4 kilos to the bike :o, cant seem to find these covers OS.

How did the waterpump housing/clutch cover for the CR250RE perform after riding the bike?

What do you think will be the cost of reproducing the covers?

The ole fun killers never stop KDX. I guess you'll have to make an extra cover now to make up for the $350 donation!

FWIW had a look at the cover today at Toowoomba, looks sand cast like factory, and worked well, he had no dram's with temp or any other issues. I for one will be ordering one and at $350 bucks, you find one NOS, good luck!!

This is for the CR250RE?  If so I'll take one of those 10 as well please.

G'day KDX 175,
Nice to know that some one is skilled in this form of work as I think there should be a big enough market out there for you to make a real go of it.
My question is are you able to reproduce cases and covers in magnesium ?

Kind regards
Rob.
